“She has a voice that is powerful and captivating. She can shout like a 60s soul diva and purr a slow bluesy tune with spine-tingling subtlety. Her band features a stellar group of musicians. ”

the nikki o'neill BAND

I play with my 5-piece band, and as a quartet, trio or duo. We also play acoustic shows and house concerts.

The full band, which you can see in the photo above, features: 
-Teddy Myers on keys
-Andy Mirsberger on bass/backing vocals
-Me on vocals and rhythm/lead guitar
-Rich Lackowski on drums/backing vocals
-Chris Corsale on lead guitar/backing vocals. 

The video clips above show moments from our 2025 show at Midsommarfest and 2024 show at Gallagher Way (both in Chicago). You'll hear my songs and soul/blues covers by Aretha, Funkadelic, Howlin' Wolf, Rufus, Bonnie Raitt, and Ann Peebles. 

The video below is an acoustic show at Jarvis Square Pottery in Chicago, from September 2025, where we played for a full house. It features me on acoustic guitar, Rich on cajon, Teddy on keys, and Andy on the upright bass.
